What is going to happen after April 30? This has been the talk of the country as the main opposition, Awami league, has predicted that the government will not survive after that date. If it sticks to its position, which has so far been very aggressive, the month of April will undoubtedly present some gruesome and undemocratic scenes to the countrymen. The law and order situation has worsened to an unimaginable level in the last few months. The paraphernalia for running the government is in absolute disarray. Foreign entrepreneurs are reluctant to invest here, which is a great bane for us.

By setting the deadline, the AL has paved the way for chaos and confusion only. It is also unconstitutional to compel an elected government to resign.
